# Week 8 : Testing and evaluating

 Today, we learn about how important the testing and evaluating phase in developing a courseware.

Testing software for accessibility and usability will be needed at many stages in the lifecycle of a courseware.

However, the most effective time to test and evaluate a software product is during development, so that unnecessary barriers are not incorporated into a design. 

As for me, this phase is really important and it really reflects our work. Either it is really prepared or vice versa. Either we are conscious enough with the needs of our users or not.

At the first time, I feel a bit puzzle on what is the differentiation of both testing and evaluating. Then after the class session, I come out with:

TESTING : running the courseware, checking on all of the navigations either it work or not, the usability

while

EVALUATING : is, we give some questionnaire, and the user answer and rate it

Anyway, let's gear up!!!
